    Pre-Ride Inspection

    • Make sure trucks pivot correctly and kingpin nuts are tightened.
    • Check for wear on wheels, bearings, and bushings.
    • Check all nuts and bolts and ensure they are tightened. Loose bolts can quick lead to accelerated wear and damage to vital components.
    • Turn on the remote and kit and make sure both are in good working condition by pushing the throttle forward to test acceleration, and by pulling back to test braking.

    Operating Tips

    • Kick pushing from a standstill prior to engaging motors will improve battery life.
    • Move throttle in small increments to avoid sudden moves.
    • Braking function will continue to work after battery is drained.
    • If for any reason the remote is disconnected from the kit while in motion, the brakes will engage and bring you to a stop within 5-10 seconds.
    • Check and tighten all screws every 30 to 50 miles.
    • Regularly replace your bearings, pivot cups and bushings for a quiet, smooth, and responsive ride.
    • Check the kit and its components for damage before every ride.
    • Clean dust and dirt regularly, using a damp & dry cloth.
    • Avoid anything that can cause loss of control or collision, such as gravel, water, sand, cracks, speed bumps, grates or drains, traffic, obstacles, night time, or poor visibility.
    • Always ride at a speed that is safe for you and those around you.
